"As for Americans who are actually showing signs of conscious living (including an aptitude for critical thinking), PPP finds they don't like the idea of the "president" being a popular-vote loser. Voters don't think that Trump's Electoral College victory while losing the popular vote is really fair--50% think the candidate who receives the most votes nationally in the election should become President, to only 37% who disagree with that concept. Trump and his minions may not know it yet, but that's a huge problem for him. From the moment he's sworn in, a large swath of the population will immediately view him as illegitimate. Good luck with that."
